Chapter 439 The Throbbing in My Heart
Chapter 439 The Throbbing in My Heart
Ji Qinglin didn't say anything, his lowered eyes hid the ripples in his eyes at that moment.
It would be a lie to say that you are not tempted.
Gu Beisheng used to be cold and indifferent, and he kept strangers away, but now he is so full of emotions, just like a sudden drop of sweet dew in a long-dry desert, which is a pleasant surprise.
This man has indeed changed a lot for her.
However, Ji Qinglin could only suppress this throbbing emotion. No matter the previous deception or the wealthy family, they were all taboos for her.
She couldn't let this little impulse lead her down a path of no return.
Ji Qinglin knew very well what he wanted, which was a stable and simple life, not intrigue and fear all day long.
Gu Beisheng’s gentleness now is not enough for her to bear the pressure.
Seeing that Ji Qinglin remained silent for a long time and that she had lowered her eyes, completely unwilling to respond to his heartfelt words, Gu Beisheng couldn't help but shake his head in self-mockery and started the car again.
The atmosphere in the car became silent and awkward again.
"Mr. Gu, time will make you forget everything." Suddenly, Ji Qinglin raised his eyes and said lightly: "Perhaps in the near future, you can meet a better person."
"Ji Qinglin, do you find it interesting to say this?" Gu Beisheng sneered and stopped talking.
He could feel the woman behind him, her whole body resisting him, which made him feel very frustrated. He gradually lost confidence in his previous statement that he wanted to win back Ji Qinglin.
Just then, Gu Beisheng's cell phone rang.
It was Mr. Gu who called.
"Bei Sheng, have you picked up the person?" Mr. Gu's voice came from the phone.
Gu Beisheng glanced at Ji Qinglin from the corner of his eye and said in a deep voice, "Yes, I got it. I'm on my way there now."
"Okay, I'm glad you picked it up!! You don't have to rush, drive slowly, it must be delivered safely." Old Master Gu really felt sorry for Ji Qinglin. Although he was anxious to see him, he still asked Gu Beisheng to drive slowly.
However, Ji Qinglin heard something else.
Mr. Gu probably wanted Gu Beisheng to have more time alone with her.
"Okay, got it." Gu Beisheng hung up the phone without saying a word and concentrated on driving.
Ji Qinglin didn't try to find a topic to talk about. He simply closed his eyes and took advantage of this break to recover his energy.
Not long after, the car stopped.
Ji Qinglin opened his eyes, looked out the car window, and saw the familiar small courtyard.
She didn’t know Mr. Gu’s identity before, and thought he was just an old man from a slightly wealthy family. But now she knows that the reason why Mr. Gu found such a small courtyard was to help Gu Beisheng conceal his identity.
However, Mr. Gu still chose to dine here because he was afraid that the change in his status would make Ji Qinglin feel uncomfortable.
So, he and several other elderly people unanimously decided to have their meal here.
"Xiao Ji, you're here!"
Before I saw anyone, I heard Mr. Gu's voice coming from the yard.
The next second, Ji Qinglin saw Mr. Gu walking out hurriedly with a cane.
"Grandpa, slow down." Ji Qinglin was startled and hurried forward to support Grandpa Gu.
"Don't worry, even though I'm on crutches, my legs and feet are still very agile." Old Man Gu waved his hand and looked at Ji Qinglin kindly. "Ah, I haven't seen you for a few days. Little Ji has lost weight!"
